Language is a powerful tool that allows us to convey meaning and emotions through various figures of speech and rhetorical devices. Two such devices, hyperbole and litotes, are widely used across different languages to emphasize or downplay meaning. In this article, we will explore the expression of these concepts in Uzbek and French languages. By examining the usage, cultural contexts, and linguistic nuances of hyperbole and litotes in these languages, we can gain insight into how these devices shape communication and expression in different cultural and linguistic contexts.
